So another week down and even more work ahead of me. This week ... well today was transfers and I was transferred... that's not all. Pres Johnson called me last night while I was packing my bags and called me to be a zone leader. Blew me off for a second but I'm excited to still be a leader. Just now I have more work and less time. Lots more traveling now. I'm back up´in the Porto Alegre neighborhood. My area is Guaiba Jardim. Guaiba is a little town just out of Porto Alegre. The smallest area I have seen in my life. I've only been here for 2 hours or so but looking at the map it's small. So in my zone is one of the elders I trained e. Bradley and another elder that worked with me in my 3rd area e. Madeiro. I'm excited to see whet will happen. Not too excited to continue on giving trainings but I'll live. So my new comp is great up till this point. E. Zanella and he is from Santa Catarina. The state that is right above this one. Everyone tells me he isn´t very cool but I'll have to see. I think we´ll get along just fine. I think everyone else is just trying to put ideas in my head. I am back as like junior comp. I'm senior but as zone leader he is the senior. So I shoudn´t have quite as much stress. Lets see how things go. For today I only have this info. I'm sad I had to leave that area but I left it better than when I found it. And they will baptize 4 in the next 3 weeks so I'm happy. Well I'm out of stuff for today. Next week I'll send some pics. I am in a rush today to unpack and get things a rollin here. I love you all have a great week XOXOXO MUAH!!!ELDER RAPP

Elder Rapp's Address

Elder Rapp's favorite scripture

Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble: and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
